BUFORD — Tessa Daniels sported a scraped-up elbow and her ears were ringing, but she could wear a big smile about the sequence of events that delivered those side effects. The Buford softball senior first baseman fielded an eighth-inning squeeze bunt and beat the runner to the plate to apply the tag for the first out, then hit a game-winning sacrifice fly to deep center field in a 4-3 win against Madison County for the Region 8-AAAA title on Thursday night. Samantha Thomas was the Lady Wolves’ runner who started on second in the bottom of the eighth by international tiebreaker rules, then advanced to third when the ball squirted to the left of the Red Raiders’ catcher.
